📂 Detailed Table View
Below the tiles, you’ll find a sortable and searchable table that displays more detailed data per site:
Column | Description |

📌 What Is Pinning in the Analytics Center?
Pinning allows you to highlight specific pages or content in your analytics dashboard so they always appear at the top of your list, regardless of how the rest of the content is sorted.
It’s a useful feature when you want to keep a close eye on key pages, like the homepage, HR portal, or critical announcements, without having to search or sort every time.
🔍 Why Use Pinning?
-
✅ Quick access to important content
-
✅ Monitor performance of strategic pages over time
-
✅ Prevents high-priority content from getting lost in large datasets
-
✅ Great for tracking ongoing campaigns or mandatory reads
📌 How to Pin Content
-
Navigate to the Content tab in the Analytics Center
-
Find the content you want to monitor regularly
-
Click the pin icon (📌) next to the title
-
The content will now appear in the "Pinned" section at the top
Pinned content stays visible even if you switch filters (e.g., Most Views, Least Views).
📍 Where Can You See Pinned Items?
Pinned content appears at the top of:
-
Content overview pages
-
Content performance tables
-
Content analytics drilldowns
This gives you constant visibility without needing to search or re-pin each time.
🧠 Tip:
Use pinning to track content that supports key objectives—like an onboarding checklist, policy updates, or campaign pages—especially if you're monitoring their performance over a period of weeks or months.
